Tweetable Quotes

“Respiratory therapy goes under many different facets of healthcare, not only from the acute care side, but also the post-acute care side.” (03:19) (Mel)

“BreatheFit was actually born out of necessity. We have found that there are gaps in healthcare that a lot of places don’t cover. Because of our healthcare system, unfortunately, there are just spaces where people need help. Well BreatheFit was hopefully able to fill in those gaps, especially in the world of behavioral health. Owning some of those rehabs through many, many years, we also found out that a lot of people suffer through the mental troubles of healing.” ( 05:56) (Mel)

“The second we fall asleep at night, we stop and we start breathing from our diaphragm. And then, when we wake up in the morning, the first thing we do is take a deep breath from our chest.” (10:29) (Dr. Jason)

“Qigong is an internal martial art. It’s a form of combat that’s slowed down. Without getting esoteric, it helps the flow of energy in the body.” (12:20) (Harry)

“We want to create life-changing development.” (15:45) (Mel)

“It’s amazing when you take a little bit of weight, and you make somebody lift it. And, when they can accomplish that, it gives them an amazing feeling of confidence.” (18:34) (Harry)
